These ladies promote good times in the ocean with a snorkel or a tank and understand the importance of involving people and participating with our planet.

We share perspectives on surface intervals and the girls bring positive ways to show others the magic of our ocean.

The future of our sport requires new people coming online as divers and the Scuba Diver Girls are doing their part for the diving industry.

They host snorkeling tours in California, as well as scuba diving, with an understanding that snorkelers become divers, and divers become advocates to preserve and protect our ocean then involve more people.

Everyone has a stake in this cycle – manufacturers, operators, marketers as well as underwater photographers – and this is how we’re bringing it all together in Yap.

We rolled in and went to the edge of the reef wall for the shark spectacular that Vertigo is.

You can get as close as you feel comfortable here and be right next to the action. There’s black tip activity at the surface and a consistent grey reef presence in the blue and along the reef wall.

Take your pick on your spectating or shooting position and get a mask full of reef shark behavior. Sharks weren’t the only thing that come out to play at Vertigo, the girls were filming three large Moray eels in the coral with the circling sharks all around… and once in a while a huge potato grouper joins the fun.

Yap is known all over the world for its resident population of manta rays and less known for its diving diversity and booming reef shark population.

There’s something here for everybody, beginners, advanced divers, freedivers, even technical for those who really want to adventure down the reef wall.

This week the Scuba Diver Girls are helping us get the word out on what it looks like to dive here and what to expect.

Mares and Suunto are helping the Scuba Diver Girls do this in style, comfort and safety.

Its been an action packed dive week as well as a good time putting together a project that helps the sport grow and bring people to Micronesia for some blue water awesomeness and unforgettable big animal encounters.
